; FOTD -- May 02, 2010 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's FOTD is late.  As advised earlier, the reason is an 
; antiquing expedition that arose on Saturday, this time to State 
; College.  Things went well enough until we were halfway back and 
; passed a string of horse-drawn Amish buggies.  When FL saw the 
; buggies, she casually asked me what I feel is wrong with the 
; modern world.  Luckily, I said I don't know and remained quiet.  
; If I had started to answer, I would still be talking, 15 hours 
; later.  It's a good thing fractals don't ask such tempting 
; questions.  (Or do they?)
; 
; The parent fractal of today's image is a combination of quadra-
; tic and quartic features.  It resembles a Mandelbrot set with a 
; few extra bays.  Today's image, which lies in the north branch 
; of the valley separating the two largest bays, has lost all its 
; quadratic features.
; 
; The name "Pints and Quartics" is totally whimsical.  The rating 
; of an 8 is good enough to make the image worth the effort of the 
; 2-minute calculation time.
; 
; The already-calculated image is or soon will be posted for 
; effortless viewing on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Summer arrived over a month early here at Fractal Central in 
; Central PA on Saturday.  Not only was the sun hot, but the 
; temperature reached 88F 31C and the humidity made its first 
; appearance of the year.  The fractal cats slept through most of 
; the early summer conditions.
; 
; When we returned from the antiquing expedition, the rest of the 
; evening was uneventful.  The next FOTD will be posted in 12 
; hours, more or less.  Until then, take care and good answers are 
; sometimes quite elusive.
